The world snaps into focus with a ragged, desperate gasp. Feldspar bolts upright, his hand instinctively clawing at his neck—searching for the wet seam of a fatal wound, finding only smooth skin and a racing pulse. The clear, brutal memory of the executioner's axe clashes violently with the feeling of straw beneath his fingers. A wave of panic, sharp and immediate, cuts through the disorientation—a voice he hasn't heard in over a year, frantic and young. His head whips around. There, staring back with wide, anxious eyes, is Tweek. Alive. Unharmed. Younger. The name 'Craig' hangs in the air between them, a ghost from a buried past. The weight of a lost lifetime crashes down, but habit overrides the shock. His own voice, higher and lighter than he remembers, breaks the silence.
